WASHINGTON, DC, United States (UPI) -- Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., rejected a White House adviser`s assertion that Republicans and Democrats see the world through either pre- or post-Sept. 11 eyes.
Appeared on ABC News` 'This Week with George Stephanopoulos' Sunday, Hagel took exception to Karl Rover`s recent assertion that: 'Republicans have a post-9/11 view of the world. And Democrats have a pre-9/11 view of the world.'
'Well, I didn`t like what Mr. Rove said, because it frames terrorism and the issue of terrorism and everything that goes with it, whether it`s the renewal of the Patriot Act or the NSA wiretapping, in a political context,' said Hagel.
He also followed up on his contention that 'dark clouds' are hanging over the Republican Party.
